Snowstorm in Garde Guerin one of the most beautiful village of france

Seeing the snow storm outside the house, I thought that the village Guarde Guerin, had to be very photogenic under the snow. So I took my cameras and my tripod video Manfrotto and I went to the village, it had to be 10:00 in the evening.

Located at 860 meters above sea level, the Garde Guérin dominates the Altier stream on one side and the Chassezac gorges (400 meters in altitude) on the other and is surrounded by the mountains of the Ardèche and the Vivarais to the north, and the Mont Lozère to the south-west (France).

Also, the icy wind can blow as much as it can, in the alleys of the village. It was really cold this evening. Moreover, I should keep my tripod very firmly, so that it does not leave with the wind.

I took a long time to install my camera dslr Canon and my blackmagic pocket cinema camera on my tripod, one after another, to take photographs and footages videos. The village was desertic, but that is understandable.

If the plot is of the 12th century, the houses were rebuilt at the end of the 16th century because of destruction in 1361 by the trucking companies and in 1568 by the Protestants during the wars of religion The hamlet has preserved its ramparts and two buildings classified historical monuments are The Romanesque church of St-Michel of the thirteenth century and the boss tower of the bishop with a height of 21,50 m.

I was able to set up my tripod in the middle of the magnificent cobbled streets of Pérouges style, with the channels in the middle, and taking photographs of nights as well as videos. This was an incredible experience, maybe you just have to be crazy to take photographs and movies from a village in the blizzard.
